To celebrate, for that day ONLY admission on the Zoofari Skylift Ride will be FREE! Donations will be accepted on behalf of the Joy To Life Foundation.

I don't know about you, but I had some questions. I called the zoo to find out how much the ride will be after opening day and was told $4. But they couldn't tell me what kind of age/height restrictions or what the hours will be for the Skylift. Check back closer to opening day for that info.

Now, who's going to take their life in their hands and ride that thing?

The splash pad in Montgomery will be closed tomorrow (7/21) from 10 am to Noon. (Boo! I know, but I think it's great that they keep everyone updated on their Facebook page.)Saturday, Montgomery Zoo is having Animal Enrichment Day from 10 am-2 pm. (Regular admission charged) We have been to this a few times and it's pretty fun to watch. The zoo gives animals different puzzles and objects to play with and we get to watch. They schedule a different animal every 15 minutes, so you can go from animal to animal to watch. The schedule is here. We will probably take a picnic lunch to enjoy.

Howdy, Pardners! (Sorry, we saw Cowboy Bruce & Vern at the library Thursday morning and that's just how I have been talking ever since. My son has been trying to make the dog's leash crack like a whip since then, too.-No worries, the dog is not attached.)

FYI: I noticed that Cowboy Bruce & Vern are going to be at Pike Road library on 7/23, so you might want to go. My kids were pretty impressed with all the lassooing, cowboy stories and bullwhip cracking.

We have had Vacation Bible School at our church this week, so I've been pretty busy. If I have missed anything, just comment or write me a note on the Facebook page.

I'm glad that we have about another good month of summer left, and there are still lots of things to do (like Free Movies). I keep updating the calendar whenever I find something to add. So, be sure to check there if you are looking for something to occupy your little darlings during the week.
